Urban League of Metropolitan St. Louis Prepares to Feed Families this Thanksgiving

ST. LOUIS (Nov. 21, 2022) – With the rising cost of food, the Urban League of Metropolitan St Louis (St. Louis, MI) is getting ready to help families this Thanksgiving.

The Urban League has been preparing for the upcoming holiday, preparing hundreds of boxes of food to distribute to those in need.

Included in the boxes are canned goods, stuffing, and other trimmings.

Quenesha Catron, the Division Operating Officer and Director of Volunteer Services at the Urban League, said, “It makes a huge difference. People come to us for a lot of different reasons, and they look forward to the turkey distribution every year.”

For families in need, it’s free food at a time when inflation is high and the need is great.

According to Catron, the goal for the Urban League is to feed about 2,500 families.

“We do have a registration process,” Catron said. “It is specifically for the city, but we will not turn anybody away.”

Distribution will take place on Tuesday, Nov. 22nd, from noon – 3 PM.
